I think McMillan's seems optimistic on the marathon to a lot of us because we aren't sufficiently trained for peak performance at that distance.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Hey, out of curiosity, I would be interested to see what sort of schedule you're following. And I apologize for not being by earlier. I've been busy.
Nice. I was looking at a program (http://www.runningtimes.com/rt/articles/?id=5995&c=36), and was oing to use it prep for CIM in December. Plans may have changed, however....but I digress.
I generally agree with you on the track stuff. And where I live, it's impossible not to have some sort of hills in every run. I do see a certain benefit to doing a hill-specific workout, because it's run a little differently. Yes, I could see some of that being incorporated into another run, but I think that the real benefit comes from doing short and steep at a high effort, and long hills for an endurance effect.
Cool, pictures....do you bring a camera on all your runs?
Heh, sounds like you got what I've had the last couple days. The heat and humidity finally broke last night. I wish I had the opportunity to run this morning, it was perfect, but alas, I did not. Stuck at trying to get some miles in at lunch. Gotta love those early morning runs where you're not quite sure what you did....
